How To Create and Moisturize an Afro Puff

Learn how to create a beautiful afro puff. Afro puffs are professional, stylish hairstyles that can be worn throughout the summer, spring, and fall days that are warm. I am loving this stylish afro puff from revele-toi's fashion diary.

How to Create an Afro PuffThis tutorial demonstrates how to create an afro puff using a ribbon. Using a ribbon is ideal for thick hair that is too big for an elastic band. Also, a ribbon does not damage fine edges. Consider using ribbon if you style your hair in an afro puff often to prevent your edges from being snagged.

Keeping Your Afro Puff MoisturizedWearing afro puffs in intense heat or windy, chilly weather can strip moisture form your hair strands. Moisturize your hair with a layer of products, using the loc method. Start by applying a water-based leave-in conditioner to your hair. Next spread your favorite oil over your hair strands, focusing on the tips. Finally, lock in the moisture with a heavy cream, butter, or hair lotion. Now your afro puff is ready to brave the weather!Precautions for Wearing An Afro Puff1. Never style your afro puff too tight. If you feel tension at your edges, undo the hairstyle and loosen your ribbon's hold2. Carefully comb your hair using a wide tooth comb before styling3. Limit the amount of times you style your hair in an afro puff to a few times a month to prevent weakened edges and split ends4. Always keep your afro puff moisturized because your hair ends are exposed to the weather's elementsphotos courtesy of revele-toi
